Answer:

Downwards gravity and buoyant force.

Explanation:

  • The word isos and Stacy are derived from the Greek word and they mean the standstill and are in balance and is a state of the gravitational equilibrium between the earth crusts.
  • And this concept explains the occurrence of the variation in the heights of the earth's crust landmass and it's said to be in equilibrium when a certain area of the surface reaches that state.
  • It's an important way to explain the negative feedback mechanism of the system.
